A compact telephoto zoom with macro shot capability.

• 70-300 mm Zoom with Excellent Image Quality and Flexibility: The lens optical design is compact and lightweight, yet it provides a 300 mm zoom at the telephoto end to dynamically to allow you to shoot the subject up close such as in wildlife, sports events or an airplane landing. The powerful zoom gives the photographer increased creative flexibility when shooting outdoors.
• Superb Close-up Performance: With a closest focusing distance of 0.74 m (at 300 m)* and maximum magnification of 0.5x (at 300 m) the 70-300 mm gives you the freedom to shoot a wide range of shooting opportunities in a wide range of shooting scenarios. Close-up views of small and sensitive subjects, such as birds and butterflies, can be easily captured from a distance. * Closest focusing distance of 0.54 m (at 70 mm) / 0.74 m (at 300 mm).
• Creating of Beautiful Lights: The 11-blade circular aperture diaphragm features optimized blade shape and arrangement. It contributes to beautiful rendition of light sources within your images, such as sunlight shining through tree leaves and colorful illuminations, by creating soft and exquisitely attractive-looking beams of light.
• O.I.S. for Ultra-Sharp Photos : Combining the O.I.S. (Optical Image Stabilizer, 2-axis) in the lens and the Body I.S. (5-axis) in the LUMIX S Series camera,* the 5-axis Dual I.S. 2 compensates for blurring even powerfully, allowing the use of a 5.5-stop slower shutter speed.** * 5-Axis Dual I.S. 2 can be used with the camera LUMIX S1H, S1R, S1 and S5, as of February 18, 2021. ** Based on the CIPA standard (Yaw/Pitch direction: focusing distance f=300 mm, when LUMIX S5 is used).
• Dust, Splash and Freeze-resistant Design: The LUMIX S 70-300 mm F4.5-5.6 MACRO O.I.S. is designed to keep shooting in the toughest conditions thanks to its dust- and splash-resistant construction and allowing you to shoot in temperatures as low as -10 °C. * Dust and Splash Resistant does not guarantee that damage will not occur if this lens is subjected to direct contact with dust and water.
• Ideal for Video Recording: The lens offers fast, accurate autofocus and smooth aperture changes, critical for the modern content creator, allowing you to record beautiful 4K video and stills without disturbing your subject.
